review by She Who Must Be Obeyed
MUST must GO
A beautiful love story. I cried with joy in a couple of places. All I can say is that it moved me. It is the type of film that you see and it makes you feel good in the most positive way imaginable
Well made and well acted. Teary in parts. It has been a while since a movie has had all the components of this movie. It captures how privileged we are in the west and out of pure will and following your passion you can come to be whom you really are against all odds.
The cinematography is excellent, with great shots of the children reacting to a world they had never seen before, be it an upper crust school, snow or the view from a airplane window. As good as the performances of David Oyelowo as Robert Katende, and academy award winner Lupita Nyong’o, as Nakku Harriet, are, the child actors in the movie also give great performances as well.

It’s such a great inspiring story. Watching the story unfold is very heartwarming. I could not help but to get teary eyes as I watched this girl Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) take her talents all the way to the top.
